Chapter 63 Quzhou City
After the two SUVs entered Quzhou City, the situation was much worse than in Ning City.
The garbage, vehicles, and skulls on the road were all dried by the wind.
Several fresh, struggling corpses remained in the postures of their moment of death.
A swarm of black greenbottle flies hovered above the rotting flesh.
As the wheels rolled over, several abnormally fat rats scurried out from the pile of bones.
Strangely, as they ventured deeper into the city, the roads became unusually clear.
The road surface had clearly been deliberately cleared, and even the most common wandering zombies were nowhere to be seen.
"Something's not right." Lu Nange's fingers tapped unconsciously on the car window. "It's too clean."
Just as the psychic ability was about to extend outwards, a bullet struck half a meter in front of the car with a "bang," sending up a string of sparks.
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse warning came from the loudspeaker: "Turn around immediately, this road is blocked!"
The electrical noise was mixed with the crisp metallic sound of a gun being chambered.
Behind the roadblock, several dark gun barrels were visible.
Lu Nange swept her mental energy over the group of men, women, and children; there was no need for them to argue!
Lu Nange's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Get out. Take another route."
The engine roared as it began to reverse, the gun barrels never being lowered.
The two SUVs took several different routes.
Most of the roads were blocked off, and after many twists and turns, we finally managed to turn into an abandoned, unfinished building complex just before dark.
The three teams met unexpectedly—twenty or thirty people were stationed on each of the left and right sides.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar vehicle enter, they all stood up instantly.
"Quzhou City must have been divided up." Chi Yanzhou glanced at the queue beside the housing development: "Shall we make do here for the night?"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici got out of the car separately to negotiate.
After a moment, the tense atmosphere eased slightly, and the two sides put away their weapons one after another, but still maintained a vigilant posture.
Chi Yanzhou raised his hand to signal, and two SUVs slowly parked in the shadows at the innermost part of the building complex.
The car doors opened one after another, and Lu Nange and the others got out of the car.
In an instant, all eyes turned to them.
In the group on the right, several burly men covered in tattoos were brazenly staring at them.
A bald man whistled a lewd tune, his murky eyes darting back and forth between the three girls.
The sticky, affectionate gaze made Gu Wan and Wen Qing move closer to Lu Nange.
"call out--"
A blade of wind shot out from Lu Nange's fingertip, grazing past the bald man's ear.
With a "whoosh," a three-inch-deep cut appeared on the cement pillar behind him, and gravel fell down in a flurry.
"If you don't want your eyeballs, I can gouge them out for you!" Lu Nange raised her eyes slightly, her voice cold.
She's no longer the Lu Nange who transmigrated into the book; she can't tolerate the slightest thing anymore!
"You bitch! I'll kill you!" The bald man, clutching his bleeding ear, suddenly lunged forward, and a burr of dirt shot up from the ground—
This move was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Lu Xici, Lu Beiye, Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, and He Zhuo all unleashed their supernatural abilities simultaneously.
Lu Xici's fireball ignited the bald man's hair first.
Lu Beiye's darts aimed precisely at his eyeballs and mouth.
Chi Yanzhou's lightning caused him to convulse and collapse to the ground, charred black.
Gu Qi's water arrow pierced directly through Lu Xici's skull, extinguishing his fireball.
He Zhuo's earth-based superpower surged forth, completely burying the bald man's corpse.
The whole process took no more than ten seconds.
The sound of swallowing rose and fell all around.
"Those who want revenge, come here now." The flames at Lu Xici's fingertips flickered, making the smile on his lips all the more chilling.
The crowd opposite them all shook their heads frantically and looked away.
Some even quietly moved back a few steps.
Where did this group of living devils come from? We can't afford to mess with them!
Seeing that both groups had quieted down, Lu Xici turned and glared at Gu Qi: "Old Gu, I suspect you came here specifically to jinx me!"
Gu Qi...
The group opened the trunk and pretended to move the supplies.
In reality, they formed a human wall, protecting Lu Nange in the middle, and silently passed the supplies she took out from the system's inventory.
The water in the pot has just boiled.
Lu Nange suddenly said quietly, "Don't you guys think we look like a professional funeral team right now?"
She counted on her fingers: "Cremation, burial, water burial, sky burial... a one-stop service."
Wen Qing was adding noodles to the pot when he heard this, and his hand trembled, spilling the whole bag in.
The other two groups wanted to turn around when they heard the loud laughter, but they managed to restrain themselves!
......
In the dead of night, a strange crawling sound suddenly came from the ground.
Everyone woke up instantly as their sleeping bags were abruptly ripped open.
The soil churned like boiling water, and black waves rose continuously from the ground.
"What the hell! What is that?" Lu Xici kicked away the bulging mound of earth.
Lu Nange's mental energy instantly spread out: "Rat...it's all rats!"
A piercing squeaking sound came from all directions underground.
The next second, a black tide of rats burst forth from the ground.
Its glossy fur gleamed in the moonlight, and its blood-red eyes were densely packed together.
Gu Wan jumped onto Gu Qi's back; she was most afraid of rats.
Afraid that screaming would cause trouble, she bit her hand tightly.
The other two groups were already in chaos, screaming as they grabbed supplies and scattered in all directions.
Some people were pounced on by the rats and instantly swallowed by the black tide.
"Damn it!" Fireballs exploded one after another in Lu Xici's hand, burning several charred holes in the rat swarm, but they were quickly filled by new rats.
Lu Beiye kept throwing darts at the ground, but it was all in vain.
Lu Nange's wind blades ploughed furrows in the ground, and blood mixed with severed limbs splattered everywhere.
However, the rat swarm was simply too large, and their ability consumption rate could not keep up with the rate at which the rat swarm replenished.
"At this rate..." Chi Yanzhou's lightning shattered a swarm of rats: "We'll be worn down and killed!"
Lu Nange dodged the mutated rat that darted to the side and hurled a wind blade.
"Brother He Zhuo, use your earth-elemental ability to form a defensive circle around us and the car! Sister Wen Qing, you're in charge of supplying He Zhuo with crystal cores."
Upon hearing this, He Zhuo immediately knelt down and slammed his palms heavily onto the ground.
With a thunderous roar as the earth and rocks churned, a two-meter-high circular earthen wall rose from the ground, protecting everyone in the center.
Taking advantage of the moment when the rats were driven back by lightning and fire, Lu Nange waved her hand, and the scattered supplies along with the off-road vehicle disappeared instantly.
"Brother He Zhuo! Shrink the defensive perimeter and surround us!" she shouted sternly.
He Zhuo tensed his arm muscles and pressed down sharply, causing the earthen wall that had been expanding outwards to suddenly retract.
The thick earthen wall instantly closed in, protecting everyone in a smaller, safer area.
Lu Nange turned to her younger brother: "Aye, use your metal-based ability to reinforce the ground!"
As Lu Beiye knelt on one knee, the moment his palm touched the ground, a dazzling golden light spread out like liquid.
